next months Transit.

Are any of the AS doing anything for the Transit?

I know Scarborough and District AS are releasing 122 Pigeons and South
Tyneside College Planetarium are holding a 'Transit Breakfast' on the day
and the Sheffield Venus Transit group are holding a Marquee event for the
public in the centre of Sheffield.

The SoLAGS (South Lincs Astronomical & Geophysical Society in Spalding are
holding a public viewing at the Sir Halley Stewart playing fields, from 8am
to 12.30pm. We have invited all the local schools to send student who are
interested and expect many members of the public to turn up. We are also
planning on having a camera connected to a scope and projected on a screen
for the small, disabled and passers by. We should have at least 8 various
size scopes and some Bino's.

Oh Zeus, can you provide clear skies for us all please? What can we offer
you?!!

Talking of TV news: I just hope y'all have a fall-back Plan B? We
don't want to see any more rioting from the UK if it's clouded out and
the vast hoardes, drawn to your centres of observational promise, turn
nasty!

but of course IT WILL BE SUNNY
